Women’s Empowerment: A Long Journey
The word empowerment is exciting, liberating, and terrifying. Therefore, we hold back and push women down as a result. Emaciated fashion models and oppressive religions demonstrate this. We live in a culture of playboy bunny look-a-likes. It is therefore natural for women to be told how to look, feel, and behave. It is common for women to be disempowered in many cultures. Consequently, the right to vote in America was a long and arduous process that took decades to conquer. The fight for equality is an everyday struggle for many women. Our upbringing is heavily influenced by cultural and societal norms and conditioning. Additionally, it plays a significant role in the development of an individual’s identity. There are many times when women are viewed as items. Something to be owned and shown off. The importance of appearance is undeniable in many cultures.
Discover the Beauty That is You
.
This movement that we are seeing of liberation and women’s empowerment is one of great importance. Empathetically, not buying into what you were told, or shown, and challenging these limiting beliefs is making the choice to re-build your identity. Through a process of unfolding, unraveling, and letting go, you discover the beauty that is you.
SpiritQuest Women’s Retreats start with a choice to change. In the same vein, the choice to grow and dig deeper to examine the fiber of your being. By investing in yourself, and taking part in an amazing life-changing retreat, you are already empowering yourself. Women coming together with the same intentions, goals, and focus is extremely powerful. Through our retreats, you sift through your story and eliminate faulty beliefs. Our next step is to assist you with the process of letting go. This is an act of surrender. While surrendering to your higher self, you liberate your inner power. Thus, empowering women is a means of taking control of their lives more effectively.
Personal Mantras Help Create Each Woman’s Empowerment
Markedly, after this emotional release, you get an opportunity to discover your personal mantra. You lay down the foundations of trust, surrender, groundedness, and balance. Indeed, the formation of a powerful mantra is life-changing. One that we use daily is, “I am love and I am light. I am strong and balanced.” These types of “I AM” mantras reshape your thinking process and challenge low self-esteem. Even if you have a past where all you have ever known is a belief of unworthiness, you can change the way you see, treat, and talk to yourself. This process of rebuilding personal power is healing for all those around you. Women’s empowerment frees us all to be our authentic selves.
The Phoenix
When you have released, let go, and laid down a strong foundation, you now begin to allow the “Phoenix” to emerge from the ashes. As a result, she is undeniably reclaiming her body, mind, and spirit. Through a creative self-discovery process, you begin to explore the inner workings of your holistic being. Consider the questions . . . “Who am I? What do I stand for, want, and need?” This helps a woman become clear about what defines her. You learn ways to take care of the budding seed that is you. You are your best advocate and cheerleader.
